A modern fairytale.

During the course of one year, Maarten has drawn, painted and animated all the parts for this huge image. Much in the style of painters like Pieter Bruegel the Elder and Hieronymus Bosch, this work shows a horde of gnomes terrorizing all kinds of small harmless creatures.

Unplugged animation

But this is not an ordinary image. What you are looking at is a moving image that doesn't need electricity, but will come to life as the viewer moves along. The technique is called lenticular printing, which is well known for its use in 3D postcards and simple flip-images. But with BIOSCOPE Maarten studied and stretched the possibilities of lenticular printing to create an animation that is more like a painting... or a painting that is more like an animation?

Kick-finish!

We are so close to realization! All handdrawn animations for the lenticular print are done and we can start off with an excellent exhibition in june at Animafest in Zagreb, one of the leading animation filmfestivals in the world. It's the perfect place for our experimental 'moving image' to start touring the world.The only thing that is left to do is the printing. Lenticular print is a costly technique, but with your help, we can finish this unique project.

Maarten Isaäk de Heer has brought more experimental, out-of-the box animation to the world. Check www.maartenisaakdeheer.com
